New info on old 27
Well after only two weeks I received my historical letter on the 27-2 I picked up that turned out to be a reblue. It also turns out it didn't travel far from home. It actually shipped October 21, 1970 to a large now-defunct sporting goods store in Denver, you locals will remember Gart Brothers no doubt.
For some reason it was returned to the factory for a refinish in January of 1971. And there we have it.
How it looked when I bought it:

Curious, is the left grip frame stamped with the typical factory refinish stamps, or did the letter state that it was sent in for a refinish?

That particular reblue was done back in the day when they did it the original way, so IMO - no harm no foul.
Beautiful job, beautiful roscoe!

Both actually. When I bought it I didn't remove the combat grips until I got it home. At that time I noticed the stamping for the refinish. The letter also states the January 1917 refinish.
Here's the grip frame:
